I always enjoy your posts and appreciate you sharing. I agree about going back to your roots and what first drew you to music. For me, that’s piano. I’ve been playing piano since I was 6 and I’ve enjoyed stepping back from the mic and playing piano for other artists of different genres. It has actually helped my songwriting and has been a full circle moment. So happy you are getting excited again - don’t box yourself in and always be yourself. These are the greatest lessons you taught me. I will always gladly remind you of these truths. :)

My first initial reaction was …oh no! And as I continued to read I was pulled along with the flow of your processing and found myself nodding in understanding. It truly is about rediscovering ourselves and leaving a door open to everything that could spark a flame. Thank you for sharing! Loved it.

Can definitely relate to this! These things take time Vanessa. For me it was 10 years….10 years!!!! I needed to figure out what I love most about playing bass, then meeting up with like-minded people and after a few jams, we put together a band!

It’s never too late.

I love this, your honesty is refreshing and it’s often the way of it when you write something down the solution/ possibilities become clear. Taking time to reflect can only be good and healthy. It seems clear that you love your flurry into retail, but music is as far as I can see essentially the soul as it allows us to express and say so much.
